2 Corinthians 3:13 (KJV)
13 "And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished."
Moses wore a veil to cover the glory that would fade away once he left the presence of God. With each step away from the mountain, the glory would decrease.
Moses had a veiled face. We have unveiled faces. Andrew Womack said, “We do not have to wear a veil because the glory is not diminishing. In fact, the opposite is true. The glory of God is ever increasing because the presence of God never leaves us. Because of this new covenant that we have with God it brings us a righteousness as the old covenant brings us death.”
It is not required of us to go to a special place on a mountain to get in God's presence because His Spirit is in us. Your relationship with God is in a greater intimacy than that of Moses.
In yesterday’s devotion we found that gazing into God’s glory we will be transformed into His image. The word for "transform" is in the passive voice and present tense. The passive voice indicates that we do not transform ourselves. God is the one who does the transforming. The present tense indicates that this transforming is currently taking place. Right now. As you hear this. Transformation is not only a past event. God is also about right now.
Thank You, Father, that we are an on-going project that You are faithful to complete until Jesus comes for us. Amen and Amen.
Blessings on the journey, and remember that the best is yet to come. Part 2
